Were siege engines used in open battle much in the EB period? I recall Imperial Roman armies used some torsion engines, and just before the EB period there's a reference to a battle between and Phillip 2 of Macedon and I think Phocis where he gets bombed by seige engines in a valley (a really clever ploy) but I'm guessing it happened pretty rarely.

I won't even bother to post my question about elephant-mounted gastraphetes with lorica segmentata for an emergent Gladiator faction then.
